- Ubisoft has a new Transformation Committee that aims to improve its upcoming titles.
- It has been tasked to breathe new life into the studio amid failing stock values.
- Ubisoft’s stocks have constantly declined despite the Tencent deal months ago.
Ubisoft has seen it all, from skyscraping highs to monumental lows, in its almost 40-year history. However, it is currently experiencing the worst of times, facing falling stock values despite Assassin’s Creed Shadows doing decently in sales.
To tackle these issues, Ubisoft has launched a Transformation Committee to improve the quality of its future projects and revitalize the Assassin’s Creed Studio.
Why it matters: For the last few years, the quality of Ubisoft’s titles has been declining. This includes the recent Assassin’s Creed games and other projects like Star Wars: Outlaws and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.
According to an email the company sent its employees, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot has appointed his son to co-lead a ‘Transformation Committee’ to help the studio fine-tune its games and breathe new life into them.
This agreement and the success of Assassin’s Creed: Shadows will benefit from a new lease in life. The future ahead demands a new energy and a passion for the games that corresponds to the current moment.
The committee has 100 days to improve things and is responsible for €100 million in additional savings. Things could get messy at Ubisoft, and we might see more layoffs and studio closures.
Nonetheless, it was previously reported that Ubisoft has also delayed some of its major titles to improve quality; this seems like another task this committee will be responsible for. Despite the Tencent deal, things aren’t looking too good at Ubisoft even now.
